According to standard order of operations, the sequence is described by the mnemonic PEMDAS:
First, do all operations inside parentheses.
First, do all operations inside parentheses.
Next, do all operations involving exponents.
Then, do all multiplication and division, from left to right. Do not do all multiplication followed by all division. These operations are of the same "rank;" think of division as multiplication by an inverse.
Finally, do all addition and subtraction, from left to right. Do not do all addition followed by all subtraction. These operations are of the same "rank;" think of subtraction as addition of an inverse.
So given 2 + 2 x 4, you would still multiply first.

No. PEMDAS. Parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. In that order

It’s not multiplication then division, it’s whatever comes first left to right. This was taught around 5-6th grade. Do not assume there are parenthesis anywhere, there isn’t. If parenthesis was put around 2+2 like (2+2)*4 it would be 2+2=4, 4*4=16. If parenthesis was around 2*4, it still comes out to 2+8=10.

When you get to physics PEMDAS and BODMAS are viod and even when not in that realm they are both broke still. If it don't work it don't work. Period. Example : 1 – 2 + 4 --------------------------------------- In a question of 2+2x4 BODMAS applys....Now of it were wrote out 2+2x4=16, 16 would be the correct awnser as those operations don't count for equations. Only expressions.

So basically assume that the parenthesis are there?12/16/19
